    Time for the next round of the CIF (Cushion It Forward)!

    Invite list: Obviously anyone in the Summer Newbie BIF 2015 is encouraged to participate. I'll open this up to lurkers as well. The only requirement is at least 5 trades and 100% feedback. In the spirit of the Newbie BIF anyone with less than 5 trades or with less than 100% feedback is welcome to join with a veteran sponsor. Veteran lurkers are also welcome @Mipper . I will ask that you only sign up if you are committed to keeping the #CIF going.

    The beer: In an effort to keep the #CIF moving along I'm going to limit the beer to a 6-8 bottle shipper with a range of 100 oz. to 152 oz. of 85+ Rated beer, or 4.1+ rAvg if there are too few scores for a rating. Beer must be from outside your target's distribution.

    How it works: If you want a chance at these red chair cushions all you have to do is send me a BM titled "#CIF I'm in!". Include your name, full shipping address (work or home?), phone number, email address, and your Untappd name (optional). Let me know about any shipping date restrictions and style preferences. I will close down sign ups on Friday October 23rd. I will choose a BA at random and ship on Monday the 26th (Unless I get news on a Pizza Boy bottle release, then I may the box a bit if it's not an unreasonable time until the release). Rather than announce the recipient I will keep this info to myself. The lucky BA who is surprised by Chad's cushions will add their BA handle and location to the cushions with a permanent marker. At this point the sign ups will start over and anyone who hasn't received the #CIF box is eligible. If we get to a point where no one signs up then I become the target by default.

    Feel free to BM me with any questions.

    I'll skip this round as well, since I have a work trip and vacation coming up. Hope to make round 3! Long live the #CIF!

    Founders had a tap takeover in boston this week... $14 per 10oz I heard. Wish I could have made it, worth the price of admission. Hopefully they bring it to EBF again. Enjoy!

    Finally sat down and figured out the winner of my LIF. Closest guess was @Bristopher89 with a guess of 580. We stopped at 2 breweries and 1 liquor store and ended up bringing home 610 oz. Send me your info and I'll get a box sent your way.

    I'm going to sit round 2 of the #CIF but will jump in on Round 3. Looks like there will be plenty of you all for Round 2. Cheers folks. For you northerners, how's the weather? We're headed to the beach today...

    I had to scrape ice off my windshield this morning, Treehouse and Trillium are the only things preventing me from packing up and moving south at this point

    After years living in the mountains of Virginia, it was amazing to experience "Winter" in Texas for the first time. T-shirt and jeans all year round. That and Jester King made moving halfway across the country totally worth it.
